- 39. Unity of all element s AND the elements of Design
- 41. But what about verbal or other styles of teaching?
- 42. These Design ele ments still apply!! Repetition Economy Variation Balance Continuity Movement Rhythm Unity
- 43. These Design elements still apply!! Repetition Economy Variation Repeat important points and Balance bring the presentation 360, Continuity back to the beginning whenever possible Movement Rhythm Unity
- 44. These Design elements still apply!! Repetition Economy Variation Simplify not only the amount Balance of information you’re telling people, but also the amount Continuity and level of the WORDS Movement you’re using. Rhythm Unity
- 45. These Design elements still apply!! Repetition Economy Variation Vary not only the tone of your voice but your body language. Balance You don’t have to be a Continuity Muppet, but make big gestures and speak loudly Movement for major points. Rhythm Unity
